    The Use Of African Proverbs To Motivate Clients In Meseron Therapy

    Abstract

    African proverbs use metaphors for practical living and for dissemination of wisdom
    intricately woven in conversations to accomplish acts which cannot be realized by ordinary
    words. Believed as handed down from the ancestors African proverbs are highly esteemed.
    Meseron therapy draws on African belief in the potency of the spoken words, affirming that
    people have psychological problems because of faulty speaking. That what we say or what is
    said about us affects our thought and behaviour. To correct the psychopathology, Meseron
    theorizes “saying it right” (rejecting wrong unwholesome words) taking covert actions at the
    level of thought and overt actions in form of words and deeds. To motivate clients Meseron
    therapists can incorporate some salient attributes of African proverbs such as their
    embedded expression of conventional truth which clients easily identify with without doubt
    when used by therapists, their brevity and easy to remember and understand nature which
    can influence clients perceptive capacity, appeal to their reasoning, and make them see self
    defeatist words as abnormal and pathological. Qualities such as availability, strong tool of
    persuasion, having a base of practical experience, common sense, intellectual richness worth
    listening to and obeying, make African proverbs a veritable tool in Meseron approach.

    Challenges Of African Traditional Healing System: Implication For The Development Of Indigenous Psychotherapy

    Abstract

    Traditional medicine is the sum total of knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories,
    beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures that are used to maintain health, as
    well as to prevent, diagnose, improve or treat physical and mental illnesses. This paper
    explores the challenges of African traditional healing system and the implications for the
    development of indigenous psychotherapy. Previous studies show that about 80% of the
    population in Asian, African and some developed countries depend on traditional medicine
    for primary health care. Rate of acceptability, use, confidence in and efficacy of traditional
    healing system is increasing in Nigeria. Some indigenous traditional healing methods include
    herbalism, therapeutic dieting, and hydrotherapy and spirituality (divination). Notable
    challenges include international diversity, national policy and regulation, perceived safety,
    effectiveness and quality, knowledge and sustainability, patient safety and use. This study
    recommends that more research be carried out on African traditional healing, that the
    religious and metaphysical elements be separated from the physical matter, commitment of
    more resources to test and promote the use of safe and efficacious traditional medicines,
    practicing traditional healers should adhere to standardized norms and qualifications. There
    is need for speedy passing of the traditional health practitioners’ bill.

    Psychotherapy And Counselling

    Abstract

    Counseling and psychotherapy must be adapted to meet the developmental needs of children.
    It is generally held to be one part of an effective strategy for some purposes and not for
    others. In addition to therapy for the child, or even instead of it, children may benefit if their
    parents speak to a therapist, take parenting classes, attend grief counseling, or take other
    actions to resolve stressful situations that affect the child. Parent management training is a
    highly effective form of psychotherapy that teaches parents skills to reduce their child’s
    behavior problems.. Psychotherapy can be said to have been practiced through the ages.
    Historically, psychotherapy has sometimes meant “interpretative” (i.e. Freudian) methods,
    namely psychoanalysis, in contrast with other methods to treat psychiatric disorders such as
    behavior modification. Psychotherapy may be delivered in person, one on one or in groups,
    over the phone via telephone counseling, or via the internet. Psychotherapists may be mental
    health professionals, professionals from other backgrounds trained in a specific therapy, or
    in some cases non-professionals. Psychiatrists are first trained as physicians. One major aim
    of couselling is that it helps people identify problems and crises and encourages them to take
    positive steps to resolve these issues, as psychotherapy helps people with psychological
    problems that have built up over the course of a long period of time. Counselling and
    psychotherapy employ various techniques and strategies to resolve issues or behavioural
    problems. Therapy may address specific forms of diagnosable mental illness, or everyday
    problems in managing or maintaining interpersonal relationships or meeting personal goals.
    A course of therapy may happen before, during or after pharmacotherapy (e.g. taking
    psychiatric medication).

    Comparison Between Cognitive Behaviour, Rational Emotive Behaviour And Meseron Therapies

    Comparison Between Cognitive Behaviour, Rational Emotive Behaviour And Meseron Therapies

    Abstract

    Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy [REBT], Cognitive Behaviour Therapy [CBT] and
    Meseron Therapy are three uniquely and very effective cognitive therapies used in clinical
    psychology practice. It is essential to clearly spell out the difference in the therapies as some
    psychologists in the past have experienced difficulty differentiating them. Rational Emotive
    Behaviour Therapy [REBT] was developed by Albert Ellis [1962] based on the rationale that
    irrational thinking is the root cause of psychological disturbances. Cognitive behaviour
    therapy [CBT] by Aaron Beck [1976], posits that how individuals view situations may result
    in psychological disturbances while Meseron Therapy by Alfred Awaritefe [1995] postulates
    that psychological disturbances arise as a result of faulty speaking as seen in the distortion of
    our appraisal mechanism, acquiescing to negativity and incongruence of striving and goals.
    This paper attempts to further explain each therapy in detail.
